EDITORS COMMENTS
In this photograph, the modernised Lambeth Fire Station on the south bank of the River Thames stands proudly, with the new fireboat London Phoenix anchored nearby. The image is captured from the north bank, offering a unique perspective of these essential firefighting facilities. The Lambeth Fire Station, a vital part of the London Fire Brigade (LFB), underwent significant modernisation in the late 1990s. The station, which was once the headquarters of the LFB until its sale in 2000, now shares the riverfront with the former Metropolitan Fire Brigade site. The LFB headquarters building, seen in the background, was sold off in 2000 when the headquarters once again returned to a Southwark base. The modernised station houses state-of-the-art facilities and equipment, enabling the brave men and women of the LFB to respond effectively to emergencies in the Lambeth area. The London Phoenix, a new fireboat, is a testament to the LFB's commitment to innovation and progress. This vessel, along with its sister boats, plays a crucial role in firefighting incidents on the River Thames. The fireboats are essential for tackling blazes on ships, oil spills, and other emergencies that may occur on the water. The photograph showcases the unique blend of modern architecture and the historical significance of the fire station and fireboats. The image transports us back to the 1990s, a time of change and modernisation for the London Fire Brigade. The London Phoenix, with its sleek design and advanced capabilities, represents the future of firefighting on the River Thames.
